Since I have used this Bible passage as an example of how the Lord God has positively influenced my overeating, this doesn't necessarily reflect the whole meaning of the verse. Debbie

Maybe I'm Taking Christ's Grace Too Much for Granted

For there is no difference between Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon Him. for whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. Romans 10:12-13

I've found that there have been quite a few times lately where I find myself hungry when I really shouldn't be or normally wouldn't be. Why is this? Am I under stress I'm not aware of? I'm not really sure, but realized that God knows why and will show me if I let Him.

In the meantime, while being prayerful, it popped into my mind, which is often how God works in my life, that sometimes we feel hungry when we just are dehydrated and need some more water or milk. I started doing this and it seemed to cure that unusually hungry feeling I've been having lately. Fortunately, God took care of this before I started reverting back to old eating problems.

How easy it is to slip back into old patterns when we are too complacent with things the way they are. It made me much more mindful, but maybe not mindful enough, that I need to stay focused on Christ and all He's done for me and continues to do for me. Maybe I take Him and His grace too much for granted, but I don't want to. I wanted to let Him know how much I appreciate all He's done for me. I want to share this with others, so that they can have the same blessings in their lives. I need to be more mindful, more prayerful and less complacent. For there is no difference between Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon Him. for whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. Romans 10:12-13

Since I am applying these Bible Verses to my life, it may not convey the whole meaning of the verses. Debbie
